About this listen

Odd's luck has been bad so far. He lost his father on a Viking expedition, his foot was crushed beneath a tree and the winter seems to be going on forever. But when Odd flees to the woods and releases a trapped bear, his luck begins to change.

The eagle, bear and fox he encounters reveal they're actually Norse gods trapped in animal form by the evil frost giants who have conquered Asgard, the city of the gods....

Can a 12-year-old boy reclaim Thor's hammer, outwit the frost giants and release the gods? With Neil Gaiman's wit and style, this story transcends the everyday and becomes a humorous, rich and layered tale of a life lived courageously.

I will be sharing this with my grandson as I believe he will enjoy it and possibly see that if you go about things the right way, maybe things will change! There’s a possibility anyway. But I enjoyed it too as it was a light ‘read’ and took me away from life for a time. It was well read and as I said will make a good bedtime story for a young boy or girl.

A tale of a lad and how he overcame things

Definitely what I was expecting, but a really nice short story. Odd was a nice character, and I really liked Neil's use of mythology throughout this story, and how he included the gods without them being overpowering. Would recommend if on discount only, not for a credit.

Nice little short story.

Do not mistake that this audio book is just for children, if you do you would be so very wrong and miss out on another of Neil's great books. Though not all that long, it is highly entertaining, funny at times and where needed accurate for a book of fiction. I really truely, highly and totally recommend this Audio Book without any reservations whatsoever.
Just sit back With the grandkids or kids and let Young and Old alike really enjoy.

Such a different take on the Norse gods. The animals are perfectly suited to their personalities. Odd is my favorite, such a kind and friendly human.

Delightful
